Russian Turn 10
Comrades,
Can you believe that in the middle of a hot engagement Divisional HQ has ordered me to retransmit my contact reports with the proper time group?
A new signalman transmitted all the reports with local instead of Zulu or universal time (actually Gil told me "dude your next turn is 10 not 9" so I had to re-edit my posts).
Units were stationed in Dinarevichi covering our forces that pursued the Tigers and Panthers north of that town (Turn 7). These units had Sukovichi under observation and noticed German infantry and loaded transport moving through the hamlet. A Katyusha strike was called in but not in time to hit exposed infantry. At least the strike greeted two platoons of Tigers that moved into the hamlet to guard the German north flank. Of course the tankers just buttoned up and the tanks were not harmed but I do like to think that the paint job on their tanks is not so pretty anymore....
A second Katyusha strike was targeted onto the west slope in the hopes of disrupting any infantry advance up the hill. The barrage drifted but at least we have put his infantry on notice that they cannot climb the hill unscathed.
Other than that we continue to consolidate and expect the Germans to counterattack soon.
